Default White vs CWM vs Chalk 992

Originally was going to go with chalk with red/bordeaux. However after watching a lot of videos, pictures, I feel myself falling out of love with chalk. I actually haven't seen a lot of white or CWM 992s on this forum as chalk cars. Anyone have a good side by side comparison of White to CMW 992? Would be a plus if it has RS Spyder wheels.

The metallic in CWM really highlights the body lines. It was my second choice to aventurine green.

When I chose which 911 to buy my wife made some pics of CWM





As for me this color steals beauty of 992's body

I have video, but I don't know how to upload it here

Here is my CWM 992 with RS Spyder Wheels. I really like this white color, as it has depth and also shows off the lines of the car nicely. I usually go White or Black for my porsches, habit from my first one back in the day (was a black 911 SC)

That looks stunning! I will make another trip to the dealership to do more hw and see them in person. My SA told me they just got a chalk demo in and they have a white on the lot. Only one missing is the CWM.

Here is a pic of the chalk with a white car behind it. You can see the contrast between the two colors.

I went with Chalk...



Chalk in front, white behind

Chalk is first car, white behind it.

Chalk is def the new favorite as of 991.2, and I think it looks great. For my car, though, I'll be going more conventional - agate again (maybe?), gt silver, or nachtblau.

Gotta agree with chalk - best decision I made when I configured my car, I'd say. I get a ton of compliments on it, too. Such a unique and interesting color, and looks much better than a lot of other manufacturers "greys" like Nardo (which is played out in my opinion). Depending on the lighting it can look white at times in photos, light grey, or creamy. Overall I love love love it.

Some guy at the gas station yesterday complimented my Chalk 4S by telling me that it's the exact same color as the pourable concrete he's been working with at his construction site.

Actually, it’s a color that I always loved on the Jag XJ6. I tried to find a pic but couldn’t dig one out, but I distinctly remember it.

Cirrus Grey? Maybe you couldn't find it because of the British spelling of the colour grey?


I guess this gray/grey is also a color/colour that's available for McLarens:

Ha! Thanks for digging that out. I love the old Jags, but never owned one. I had two Triumphs and an MGB and they were a lot of fun. Anyway, I’ve not seen the colour grey on a 911 and looking forward to seeing one.
